  3. After the registration, one can submit his/her paper proposal through the system.
  4. Each paper proposal should be submitted to a particular thematic panel. In the Congress system only the titles of thematic panels will be visible. The full descriptions of the panels are available at the Polish Sociological Congress web-site 16zjazdpts.pl (“Programme” section).
  5. One person can only submit one paper proposal.
  6. In the Congress system,the paper submission form will include the following sections:

  1. The deadline for submitting paper proposals is March 31, 2016.
  2. One can submit a co-authored paper proposal. In this case, he/she introduces the paper details in the Congress system and adds the names of the co-authors. All the co-authors must beregistered in the Congress system. However, only the person who has submitted the paper proposal through the system can “see” this paper in her/his individual profile.
  3. The co-authored paper proposal uses up the possibilities of having a paper for each co-author. In other words, the basic principle of the Congress is “one person – one paper”.
  4. A Congress participant can submit a paper proposal to a panel he/she organizes. However, only one among thematic panel organizers can have a paper in their own panel, other panel organizers need to choose another thematic panel should they wish to submit a paper proposal. The only exception to this rule is when one paper is co-authored by several organizers of a panel to which it is submitted.
  5. Decisions about whether a paper is accepted for presentation, accepted as a “distributed paper” or rejected is taken by thematic panel organizers through the Congress system.

  7. Regardless of the format of the thematic panels, names of the panel participants and the titles of their papers will appear in the Congress programme.
  8. A thematic  panel can consist of max. 5 presented papers (one session) or max. 10 presented papers (two sessions). In addition, up to 5 distributed papers can be selected.
  9. In case a thematic panel turns out to have an insufficient number of paper proposals, the Programme Committee has the right to cancel it. The thematic panels should consist of at least 4 presented papers per session (i.e. the panels with 1 to 3 paper proposals will not be launched, while panels with 6-7 paper proposals will have to limit the number of accepted presented papers to 5 in order for all of them to fit into one session).
  10. The thematic panel organizers should mark the results of the selection process via the Congress system, by April 15, 2016.
  11. The Programme Committee will overview the decisions taken by the thematic panel organizers  in order to ensure that these are in agreement with the basic conditions of participation in XVI Polish Sociological Congress. The Committee has the right to change these decisions if they do not meet the conditions presented herein. The Programme Committee will publish the list of the accepted papers on the Congress web-site by May 31, 2016.
